The bill amends Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Chapter 126, Section 40, to enhance the reporting requirements for sheriffs regarding jail populations. It introduces a new overview section for the Quarterly Population Report, mandating sheriffs to record and report various data points for each individual committed to their facilities, including identifiers such as probation central file numbers, state identification numbers, race and ethnicity, and details about release and admission types. The reports must be submitted quarterly to designated officials without including identifying information about individual inmates. Additionally, the bill establishes new definitions for key terms and clarifies that certain data points, such as case disposition and bail information, are managed by the Trial Court rather than the Sheriffs' Offices.

Furthermore, the bill outlines various rehabilitation and educational programs for incarcerated individuals in Worcester, including Anger Management, Digital Literacy, and Relapse Prevention. It emphasizes the importance of tracking participation and outcomes in these programs to assess their effectiveness in aiding rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. The bill also addresses the need for accurate calculations of jail credits to prevent discrepancies in the credit system. Overall, the proposed amendments aim to improve transparency, accountability, and rehabilitation efforts within the correctional system, ensuring that individuals have access to necessary resources that support their reintegration into society.
